From the seventeenth until the nineteenth Century, watchmakers from Geneva, London, Paris and Blois were generally regarded as the best in the world and developed trade relations with the Ottoman Empire, which covered a large part of the Middle East. Typically, high-quality watches like this one were made for the Sultans.
